The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano has taken disciplinary action against some of its members, including a senator and legislators, over alleged anti-party activities.
The State Chairman of the party Alhaji Hashimu Dungurawa disclosed this to newsmen in Kano on Monday.
He said the four legislators including Senator representing Kano south Kawu Sumaila, Alhaji Abdullahi Sani Rogo, a member representing Rogo Federal Constituency, Alhaji Abdullahi Rurum, a member representing Rano/Kibiya, and Ali Maadakin Gini, Senator representing Dala Federal Constituency.”
The NNPP party chairman, said the party, expressed disappointment with the recent actions of some National Assembly members elected under the party’s platform.
According to him, despite being given complimentary tickets to the legislators during the party elections, these members have allegedly gone against the party’s wishes, beliefs, and values.
He further explained that Senator Sumaila recently made headlines for hosting a high-profile event where he gave his daughter away in marriage and commissioned some projects at his university in Sumaila.
“It is unfortunate that none of our party members who supported him, was invited to the event, including our National leader Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf”
“This action has really sparked curiosity about the senator Kawu of inviting his opponents especially those who kicked against his bid to clinch the ticket in their political party”
The party Chairman emphasised that despite the suspension, the door remained open for dialogue if the suspended members repent and seek forgiveness.
The chairman also reassured party members that NNPP remained strong and committed to achieving victory, both now and in the future.
